An opulent Roman domus in the Transtiberim with a complex plan and an extraordinary program of painted and stuccoed decorations, the so-called "Casa della Farnesina" lies beneath the gardens of the Renaissance Villa della Farnesina. One hypothesis holds that it was built following the wedding of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Iulia the Elder. Its wall paintings are a key example of the so-called 'Third style' of Roman wall painting.

An unnamed settlement close to the modern village of Casian is also not far from the rock inscriptions from the Șeremet forest. The rock inscriptions mention the limits of the community of the Kasians and their caves. A house from the Roman period and some coins were found here. The relation between the settlement and the toponym Kasiana or Kasianon is not clear, because of the position of the inscriptions.

Extensive gardens in the Transtiberim that were initially owned by Agrippina Maior, the Horti Agrippinae are perhaps best known for their association with the reigns of the emperors Caius and Nero, respectively. These gardens likely covered much of the Ager Vaticanus, including the present-day site of St. Peter's Basilica. Both the circus Gai et Neroni and the theatrum Neronis were included in their extent. A terraced portico was to be found along the riverfront, elements of which were documented archaeologically in 2024 in the area of Piazza Pia.

The Vatican necropolis lies beneath Vatican City, specifically beneath the present St. Peter's Basilica, at depths ranging from 5 to 12 meters. The necropolis was partially exposed by means of archaeological excavations in 1940-1949. The necropolis was an open-air burial ground that included both mausolea and tombs. Notable among the documented tombs are the Tomb of the Iulii and the tomb that is conventionally believed to be that of Saint Peter (a.k.a. Peter the Apostle). The tomb of the saint, said to be located near the site of his martyrdom, provides a point of topographic orientation for the Constantinian project that came to be Old St. Peter's. The necropolis remained in use until at least 318.
